Eickhoff rusty in season debut for Phils

Still considered a little rusty as he recovers from a fractured right thumb suffered in spring training, Philadelphia Phillies starter Jerad Eickhoff allowed three runs, two earned, in losing his season debut to the New York Mets on Friday. The Phillies’ bullpen blew up after Eickhoff departed as the defending National League champions went on to post a 7-2 victory at Citi Field.
